Judge Schnoopy posted:I'm not good with powershell but there's sure to be a way to search for all mailboxes, then do a for-each mailbox export request on the results Yeah, as long as you actually want to export every single mailbox, the solution is probably 2 lines long. Never done Powershell stuff with Exchange but I'm assuming it would be: Get-Mailbox -identity * | forEach-Object { New-ExportWhatever -Path D:\WhyAmIDoingThis\ }

Laserface posted:After speaking with the HR guy, its definitely below my pay grade, although I went back and threw a bunch of applications at genius/expert stuff too so lets see how they go - I work better with people in person than on the phone, for sure. Late reply but here goes. You don't seriously get considered for other teams unless you've been with the company for more than a year. I've not met anyone that came in through retail / AC that didn't have 3-4 years in those orgs before jumping to corporate.

Virigoth posted:A good go to is make them explain what they'd do in a scenario with a whiteboard. Maybe it's a task you've been thinking about automating that is just busy work for a new tech. Ask them to solve a current problem you're working on or just solved and ding them because they didn't come up with exactly the same solution you did with the same tradeoffs.

My interview had one of these, except the issue was "a fax machine wasn't sending faxes". I went down the whole list of troubleshooting steps even though I hit it on the head with the first step of 'verify the number they're entering'. That's right, my technical interview was to ensure users were hitting 1 in front of a fax number. This is the easiest job of my life.

I mean my interviews I have to basically play dumb about poo poo i know a lot about to figure out what they know about. If they don't know stuff I just start talking about video games until my 45 minute slot is up. Hint: if you're interviewing for my company and we start talking about video games after 10 minutes it's probably not going good.

They often overestimate a users ability to find the address bar.

Anyone use Thinkingphones? We spend half a million a year on phones and video/audio conferencing, they're telling me they can do it for way less and take over for GoToMeeting/WebEx/BlueJeans/Shoretel, just wondering if anyone has a testimonial before I start giving them my time.

My boss has done this in the past. The question was about not being able to print. Turns out the "issue" is that MS Word doesn't work and thus they were unable to print. It's a good example of getting someone to ask the right questions on what they are trying to do exactly and to show them instead of just telling.

Just found out my lovely director is getting moved out of the role in the new year, and the lovely sys admin that I wouldn't piss on if he was on fire is getting let go soon. This is the day. THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY. Seriously I should sell time shares of my life so that other people could experience it. This is what pure joy feels like.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Anyone have any experience working in academic IT departments? Apparently it's a common thing now to set up personal storage drives for 40k+ students. I can't even imagine how to begin supporting that. It's the same as doing it anywhere else, you just limit the provisioning for the shares to a reasonable size like <5 gigs. And if you're a university that has over 40,000 students then you'll likely operate a fairly sizable data center.

My 2 cents, Academic IT moves a little slow but not as slow as Financial Institutions. The pay is on the low end but usually makes up for it in PTO and job security.

Tab8715 posted:My 2 cents, Education is a racket, tuitions are higher than they've ever been, and there's not much of a financial crunch besides the desire to squeeze every last penny out. Job security is good, funding is good, and it doesn't look like anything's going to change soon. Most colleges are public and that will generally make you a public employee on the state's public health system, which is typically expensive but very good. Supporting education-oriented institutions is usually about big scale instead of other kinds of interesting projects, unless you happen to be working within a smaller cluster computing group or something. Research IT is an absolute nightmare trainwreck though, with most grants having dried up in the recession and most institutions now reliant on private endowments and development/fundraising in order to make ends meet. The advantage to the latter is you typically end up working with some really high-end stuff in IT, and engineering some really complex systems. It also tends to move a lot faster by necessity, because competitors will beat you to discoveries if you don't have the agility to keep up.

Working at the HPC center at KTH seemed interesting. Basically most research projects in the Stockholm area colocate their supercomputers there, so the center isn't actually purchasing the hardware, the projects are. Unfortunately this means that it's been tricky to source money to expand infrastructure like power and cooling when someone happens to drop a new cluster in the lap of the people running it. Also, you have to deal with academia politics in environments like that.

Had a beer with my old boss last night. He was pissed off when I left because I blindsided him with "I got a job offer for 40% more, I love working here but I got bills to pay". Catching up was great, we both apologized for how things went down, talked shop about their clients and my new job. He implied a few times that he'll always have a position open for me if I would consider it, and asked if I was open to doing some contracted work for them if they needed some extra hands. I would really love to go back there because it was a fantastic work environment and the co-workers were all friends, and the work was challenging / interesting. If the money was good I would have never left. Is this something I should be considering? I know there's a hardfast rule of "don't accept counter-offers" when quitting, but I'm 90 days removed now and have made my point that I can find jobs elsewhere if the money isn't coming in. Is it a good idea to send him an offer with my required salary, or just wait for him to send me an offer (if he does), or is it best to put it out of my mind and move on? My goal in this industry is to break 6 figures within 10 years. I'm working on year 3 and am a third of the way there (from my starting salary). If I go back to this company I'll never make it because they simply cannot afford a 6 figure employee. I can go cut-throat, gain certs, job hop, and reach for my goal by 35, or I can settle in, have fun, and enjoy my career. No idea.

If they can't afford to pay you what you're worth as an FTE then it's probably best not to go back? If they want some contract work that wouldn't be a bad thing, depending on what they are looking for, your current workload, etc etc.

I know 6 figures is a nice round number, but I've found now that I'm almost 35 it doesn't matter as much. My wife and I bring home enough money that we live an extremely comfortable lifestyle and I don't think an extra 10K gross would make that much of a difference to us especially if it came at the cost of our quality of life. I don't make 100K now, but I wouldn't trade my current awesome job for a 100K job in a lovely environment. There's more to life than cash compensation.

This time 3 years ago I didn't even have my A+ or temp job as a tech, you're behind the curve! The goal posts are always going to keep shifting, I would set goals that you can actually measure besides something that has a huge random component/cost of living factor. That said I never would have guessed you're only 3 years into the career based on your posting so you're probably doing something right

That sounds excessive to me, but I don't have anything to compare it to. Anyone have any advice? Sounds reasonable to me? Datacenters can see electricity and facility bills in the tens of thousands per month just for cooling. I don't think it's absurd to pay $1000 a year for 5 2U servers if they're covering electricity and cooling, and in fact that sounds like a pretty good deal.
